Overview

About 12 Birchwood Close

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

12 Birchwood Close is a two-bedroom semi-detached house in Winstanley, Wigan, Wigan (WN3 6JD). It has a recorded floor area of 60 m² (around 646 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1976-1982 and council tax band B. The latest certificate (June 2015) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. The latest certificate is from June 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected. Other recorded features include a conservatory.

At 60 m² it sits well below the postcode median (96 m² across 5 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally. On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Today's modelled estimate of £192,000 sits 51.2% above the 2015 sale of £127,000. On a £-per-square-foot basis, the last sale (£197/sq ft) was about 106.7% above the typical sold price in the postcode. Last sold in October 2015, so it's been off the market for around 11 years.
